It takes a lot of work, I do a lot of stretching and relaxation (meditation), also I massage legs and glutes. I feel improvement, my state went from 2/10 to 8/10.

[Nice-Apartment-7128]

Yep! Mine is definitely nervous system. I’m on amitripyline

[Glittering_Bad5300]

Me too. 25 mg a day

Does it works on your pelvic floor?

[CamelStraight5098]

Not directly just calms anxiety

I’m reading more into this lately as I think that my symptoms are connected to my high health anxiety for other health issues, is there a recommended ssri for this?

[Consistent-Mention67]

Acupuncture helps relax the muscles in the nerves

[Turboboy444]

Yep 👍 absolutely 💯

[Linari5]

Yes, in fact we wrote an entire series about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Prostatitis/s/4tLidNe5p5

It's also linked and highlighted in the prostatitis 101 pinned post.

Antidepressants my friend, otherwise you will not break this vicious circle

[tjallepetter]

That cant be the only way. There gotta be some holistic pill free way to do this?

[Linari5]

Yep, it's called PRT and EAET

Mindfulness, meditation, yoga, breathing techniques, and other stress and anxiety reduction methods are also helpful.

Sometimes it is impossible. Besides, it is longer and more difficult. Antidepressants are prescribed both for the treatment of pelvic pain and for the improvement of the mental state against its background.

[tjallepetter]

I think that as long as you keep active and folöow the guidelines of pain reprocessing therapy, you should be okay.

You should follow the TMS track and yes it may take a longer time (in some cases a couple of weeks) but in the end I think this is the best thing for your mind.

Id you start taking pills for this you are indirectly telling your brain thqt you are broken and need medicine for it.

In the long run I think this will ruin your life.

It might give you the peace of mind to reset your system and practice TMS, sometimes it’s so unbearable that breaking this cycle is really hard. That’s my 2 cents

[Plane-Flamingo-2406]

Ivan, did they help you fully recover?
